Darren Daulton, Philadelphia's longtime sparkplug catcher who finished off his career with a championship with the Marlins, has been diagnosed with two brain tumors. One of them is reportedly inoperable.

Darren Daulton has not been feeling well over the past two weeks. He went to the doctor who discovered two brain tumors and is scheduled for surgery early next week. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this difficult time.
